NewMail event does not occur during startup
Just a bit of commentary I could not resist posting. They must have really
mucked up the code in this area. Why setting a automatic send/receive
interval of any amount of time should also set send/receive at startup is
beyond me. I really want it at a 10 minute interval but cannot use it
because for some (dumb) reason selecting that also selects send/receive at
startup which I don't want. The way they have set this up is completely
counterintuitive and apparently the events are not even working properly.
What would it have cost them to add a simple check box "Send/receive at
startup" just like they have "Send/receive on exit"? Someone setting a time
bomb would be in for a big surprise if their timer worked like this one.
